Jalapeno Poppers Turned into Pizzas – Recipes

I love jalapeno poppers. Did you know this? I love jalapeno poppers so much that I’ve written an entire cookbook dedicated to them and other stuff chili peppers, aptly titled “Jalapeno Poppers and Other Chili Peppers”.

While working in the kitchen recently to shoot a number of videos on how to make jalapeno poppers, we were left with a variety of leftover ingredients. We had jalapeno peppers of course, but also loads of different cheeses, garlic, chorizo, cooked shrimp, spices and more. Sitting there in the afterglow of eating all those poppers, Jalapeno Miss and I began to look forward to dinner time. We wanted something easy. After cooking all day in the kitchen, neither of us were looking forward to digging into an elaborate meal.

An idea struck. How about pizza? Yes! Peering out over our piles of leftover ingredients, the pizza option was a no-brainer. All we had to do was whip up a couple simple flat bread crusts, top them with the leftover ingredients, then bake and viola! Pizza is served.
